2008 NBA Draft Thread

[.GR]

Joe Alexander is going to be freakishly amazing. Hes only been playng for 5 years. And he wants to go to Millwaukee cuz he speaks Manderin or whatever like Yi.

 

[The Young One]

Nashty i dont see gordon averagin that many points his rookie year maybe 14 at most. I dont see k love averagin 18 and 10 as a rookie he just wont. especially with marc gasol coming in.

yeah the kid is a stud. DOnt be shocked to see Adam Morrison gettin traded on draft night guys.

 

[DJT]

rose goes first, that means he is runnign point with bg7, hinrich, nocioni, deng around him(for now) he wont score enough to win

beasley goes second, you see him beating wade and marion as a rookie for 1st and 2nd option? he will be 2nd option at best., and 15-16 ppg will not win ROY this year

mayo goes 3rd, playing with al jefferson, gerlad green, randy foye, and plenty of other youth. he might play good minutes but can't see him being a star when they are going to want to get most of the youth involved

bayless goes 4th, he will get 15 ppg and 6 apg. good stats, but not enough

kevin love goes 5th, here is a sleeper pick to win one. no big men on memphis, no good players on memphis. If he does have the muscle to play in the nba, he can get 18 and 10 a night for memphis. good enough to win ROY

eric gordon goes 6th, he has who aroudn him to take away from scoring? crawford led them last year, and might be the only legitament trade bait on the team. I see gordon starting for dantoni and being like barbosa did in a starting role. 18 ppg withotu a problem.

as you can see, its not the player that matters, it is where he gets picked. memphis is the best spot for a ROY, but I think a gaurd has a better chance to shine in the league as a rookie than a big man(especially in the west). So I say whoever memphis or NY pick has the best chance to win, my money is on NY though

Gerald Green isn't playing for Minny anymore. He's not even on an NBA team right now.

Oh and you must of forgotten about Rudy Gay, Hakim Warrick, and Kyle Lowry.

forgot about gay, but I don't think warrick's 11 ppg and lowry's 9 are that great.



Now for gordon to score 18 ppg, all eh needs to do in Ny is be able to shoot 3's and slash to the basket on fast breaks. he is very capable of both.

Do I think kevin love is good enough for 18 and 10, no way in hell. I think h will be a bust, but I believe the team drafting is more important than who gets drafted. I think NY or Memphis will have the ROY.

 

[The Young One]

Eric is too off and on to average that many points. He wont start Steph and jamal are gonna start. And i dont see no rookie coming of the bench averagin that many. Also if mchale really trades the t-wolves pick. Look for the t-wolves to get the phenom Ricky Rubio next year

 

[bballer13333]

Anthony Randolph gonna be real good as well.

 

[The Young One]

Randolph = Huge Bust

Cal already summed up randolph

 

[.GR]

Yep yep ^_^

The Suns and Clippers are reportedly discussing a deal that would send the No. 7 pick and Corey Maggette to Phoenix for the No. 15 selection and Leandro Barbosa, according to ESPN.com.

The deal can only be approved if Maggette decides not to opt out of his contract. If he does decide to

 

[The Young One]

I hope that deal goes down. So that way Minny can get Mayo.

 

[Mexi]

The Lakers are close to getting a second-rounder from Seattle and want IUPUI guard George Hill.

I've read up on him. I think he could be a steal.
Chad Ford has labeled him one of the drafts sleepers
B)

 

[.GR]

On ESPN's draft special they say Chalmers has jumped ahead of Augustine on Sacramentos draft list...

 

[DJT]

I like that. Mario is a really good guard who can shoot and DEFEND...which Augustin I guess is a horrible defensive player.

 

[.GR]

I havent realy read up at all on Chalmers and havent seen him play much either.

 

[The Young One]

Chalmers is a great defender cal. He's a good offensive player to. He will be better than augustine to me

 

[DJT]

You didn't watch the NCAA championship game??

Chalmers is a beast.

 

[.GR]

If he is a great defender then I like him, defense is the number 1 thing to me, even though KMart hasnt perfected it to say the least.

 

[DJT]

Ha very true. But yea, Chalmers was a good defender, but alot of that could be from how they played D at Kansas. They did this weird trap thing up high on the guards whenever a screen was set. They got lots of steals.

 

[.GR]

I doubt we get DJ or Chalmers. Im pretty sure we'll get Arthur. Almost positive at this point.
